Little Princess Update...

Shiya is 49 days old today. Since her birth...

• saw her first smile on Wed (16.3.11) when I was playing with her after her morning meal... we had just bought her a new rattle toy which was named Mr. Panda by me (who else  :P  )... and there propped against my knee I showed her Mr. Panda and voila...her beautiful smile!! hehehe... she's such a sweet and beautiful baby... her smile lit up her eyes...
• her first smile to her daddy came this morning at the wee hours of 2am... we were changing her diaper and her daddy was distracting her and talking to her... and I guess she found his voice soothing because she smiled a wide grin... hehehe... comel!
• the first time Shiya merajuk with me was last Friday... I was feeding her milky2 and she wanted more... oops! mummy didn't prepare enough...so daddy had to heat up some milky from the fridge... in the meantime, I decided to direct feed her... she definitely didn't like that and started screaming for her milk... and when it finally came, poor baby just didn't want it anymore. :(  Mummy was quite sad and almost cancelled her plans to have dinner with Che and Michu... She was so upset she fell asleep in my arms...
• she loves to coo-coo now... and her fav position is propped with her back against your knee, facing you... she can stay like that for quite some time... all the while cooing... :) 
• her head is still pretty much bald except for the horse-shoe like patch at the back of her head... hoping that her hair grows out soon  :p
• poor baby has red dots (itchy) all over her face, scalp and now on her arms and legs... sigh... I wonder if it's the soap I'm using? Sebamed... but whatever it is... am planning to go to the Dr. Ranjit (skin specialist) for a second opinion... (her paed said that it's eczema) and maybe get a better cream to help soothe her discomfort
• since her 43rd day... I have started to alternate her feedings with formula... lots of reason for this move... one is that I don't trust others besides me and hubby to properly heat my breast milk (especially a maid who might just give her milk that has been sitting out too long), two is that my milk supply has also been slowly going downhill... hubby said it's stress... some say I need to up my intake of food... dunno... rather not think about it... and three, it's so much simpler when we're on the go... yes, giving direct I can just feed her where ever... but if you need to express first? It's a bit hard dealing with express milk...
• I have stopped swaddling her... since the book said that leaving their arms and feet free will encourage them to grow and develop much better... sometimes kesian tgk her all swaddled up... right now, it's fifty-fifty... sometimes she sleeps well...sometimes she tends to wake up when she's agitated due to her fists flying about...

Ok.. that's all for now... will try and upload latest pics... :)
